From batteries and screens on mobile phones, to catalytic converters in car exhausts and lightweight materials used in the building of cars and even space vehicles materials play an important role.
The Materials Science Group is truly multidisciplinary and we work on a number of types of materials including metal organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, inorganic and organic (non-bio) polymers, oxides, semiconductors and molecular materials. Our work sees application in a number of different areas which includes anti-microbial activity, light generation, photovoltaics and energy generation, molecular magnetics, catalysis, gas storage and drug delivery. Our experimental work is underpinned by theoretical studies in both chemistry and physics.
